I’m just as interested in his dad’s story: comes to the US as an immigrant who couldn’t speak a word of English, works in a sweatshop, quickly becomes a scholar at Johns Hopkins University. What an incredible story that’s just sort of elided here.
No stop!! America badly needs his insight and wisdom...but then again Chomsky belongs to nobody, his knowledge should be accessible to the entire world.
Noam's father worked in a sweatshop, learned English, and in a few years got accepted into one of America's finest universities in the U.S. and managed to pay full tuition on horrible pay from a sweatshop?? How real is this???
@@edwardjones2202 Rubbish. This entire narrative of an immigrant arriving with one dollar in their pocket and making millions is a myth. There were structures and support already in existence to give these people a leg-up over immigrants who had no support and whose lives were destitute for their remaining lives scrubbing toilets and digging ditches.
Looking at chomskys childhood, it's easy to see why he became a dissident. Incredibly bright man too. I feel smarter listening to him.

Noam Chomsky is evidence that autodidacts can shake the conventional substructures of society and point to all things more reformed.
Read "The Intellectual Life of the British Working Class"

Who said he paid? Or what he paid? Or how selective JH was in 1920s?
Why would he lie? I've read a million stories of immigrants climbing from scratch

interviewer needs to pull the mic outta his nostrils
Samb1600 It’s not from his nostrils, but from the hairs in them. Blokes need trimmers.
